First -of-its-kind human study shows diets high in fat and sugar impair spatial navigation.

Researchers found that young adults who frequently consumed foods high in saturated fats and refined sugars performed significantly worse at remembering the chest’s location compared to those with healthier diets.

Study builds on a body of animal research showing that rats fed high-fat, high-sugar diets quickly develop spatial memory deficits, often before weight gain occurs.
